Authorelizabethwilcox79Inspired by a private investigator whose father is a spice merchant, and whose office went up in smoke, this cocktail brings together the coffee and bourbon which are staples of a long investigative stake-out with spice and a hint of smoke.

Prepare a clove-smoked rocks glass. (An easy method is to light several whole cloves on a fire-safe surface and set the glass upside down over the cloves to capture the smoke.)
Strain the chilled cocktail mixture into your prepared rocks glass over a single large piece of ice
Garnish with a dehydrated orange slice or a fresh orange twist

I am a huge fan of both Mr. Black and a quality bourbon, this seems to be a delicious and super creative work of art! How does one go about making chai syrup?
There are several methods. The one I find easiest: Bring 4 c. water to a boil, add 4 Tblsp chai tea blend of choice, cover with lid and remove from heat. Allow to sit and steep for 10-20 minutes. Strain well, add 4 c. sugar. Return to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Allow to chill, bottle & store in fridge.
Delicious! Great job. I had made of batch of chai syrup by coincidence and ran across this recipe. Tried it, loved it, and I will be making it again. 🙂
